For some of these, you have to have lived the rural life we have, but
they're still fun....



	You are a true Texan if:
	
	
	1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur,
Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, and Amarillo.
	
	
	2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their
states are sissies.
	
	
	3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard
and look for a funnel.
	
	4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a
tractor on the highway.
	
	5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same
day.
	
	6. You know that the true value of a parking space is not
determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of
shade.
	
	7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
	
	8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
	
	9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
	
	10. You measure distance in minutes.
	
	11. You refer to the capital of Texas as "home of the
Longhorns."
	
	12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who
died in an airplane crash.
	
	13. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special
occasions.
	
	14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the
ocean.
	
	15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an
outfit.
	
	16. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
	
	17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their 
	wedding date.
	
	18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger
than 
	your fist.
	
	19. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down
at a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the
other go first.
	
	20. You know which state Miam-uh is in.......and which states
Miam-ee is in.
	
	21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and
bait all in the same store.
	
	22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.
	
	23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.
	
	24. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
	
	25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to
multiply.
	
	26. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them
to your friends.
	
	 
	 
	Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this
conversation:
	
	"You wanna coke?"
	"Yeah."
	"What kind?"
	"Dr. Pepper."
